my friend has them in his EK. they're pretty stiff for a full coilover system.

I had the NEX system on my car for about a year. Not bad for the money. They are a great entry level set-up.

i had a set on my '99 si... i got them used adn drove them for less than a year before they blew... they were at that time about 2-2.5 yrs old.. when i took them apart to see what was going on i found that the front spring rate was 12kg and the rear was 6kg (quite a gap!!)... the bump stop is soft rubber (tore in half in my case)... did last quite well through a canadian winter or two (no rust... but i sprayed them quite regularly with wd40)...

... that said they were great while they worked... they cannot be rebuilt.

good luck!
